The PC version of the game, which originally came out along with the PS4 and Xbox One version back in June 2015, was removed from sale by Warner Bros. The reason being is that the game had so many technical problems that it was deemed unplayable. It was released once again just back in October 2015 with a deal of the entire Batman Arkham series for free to make up for the problems.

However, despite the relaunch and variety of fixes, the game is still experiencing a multitude of issues. 

The developer said on their Steam Page, “We are very sorry that many of our customers continue to be unhappy with the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight. We worked hard to get the game to live up to the standard you deserve but understand that many of you are still experiencing issues.”

In response to this, Warner Bros. started a refund program. Anyone who wants their money back can return the game regardless of how many hours they played until the end of 2015. Even people who bought the DLC pass can get a refund for the pass as long as they give up the DLC along with the full game.
